"Zong Gongzi, please accept our worship."

The identity of the Sect Wusheng Elephant Builder completely shocked Ji Tianyi, the haze in their hearts quietly disappeared, and the fighting spirit they had never had before filled their hearts.

"Patriarch, Senior Brother is back."

When everyone was excited, the two disciples were standing in the living room with a tall, bronze-skinned, and resolute-looking young man, but they were too excited just now, and everyone didn't pay attention.

The young man is the eldest brother among the disciples of the Ji family, and he is also Ji Hao, the disciple of Ji Tianyi.

Born from the heart, Ji Hao's personality is like his appearance, resolute and upright, and he never beats around the bush, but at this time, he was carried back by others, and his expression was a little guilty.

"Master, the apprentice has disgraced you, and being beaten like this only blames yourself for not cultivating well."

"Hao'er, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault, a good tiger can't stand a group of wolves, leave Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood, we will settle this account with them in the future."

Ji Hao was a little surprised, the Ji family was bullied like this now, and the expression on the master's face was light, and he didn't seem to feel the pressure at all.

Strangely, the three elders present were the same, and they didn't feel the slightest sense of crisis at all.

"Hao'er, you go to rest first, and the rest of the things will be talked about when you are well cultivated."

Ji Hao wanted to ask about the current situation, since the master asked him to rest, he didn't want to say anything, glanced at Zong Wusheng, who was surrounded by everyone, and was about to leave with hesitation by the two disciples.

Zong Wusheng has been staring at Ji Hao since he entered the door, to be precise, staring at the crescent-shaped pendant hanging from Ji Hao's waist, which he recognized.

"Senior Brother Ji Hao, please wait." Seeing that Ji Hao was about to leave, Zong Wusheng interrupted his steps, walked quickly to his side, pointed to the pendant and asked, "Senior Brother Ji Hao, is this pendant yours?" ”

Zong Wusheng's actions surprised everyone present, and quietly observed what would happen between him and Ji Hao.

"You're the one you rescued?"

"It is here, I am a member of the Danzhou Sect family, and it is an honor to meet Senior Brother Ji Hao."

"Brother Zong's words are serious." Ji Hao and Zong Wusheng said a few polite words, took off the pendant on his waist, handed it to Zong Wusheng, and asked, "Brother Zong is asking about this pendant?" ”

Zong Wusheng took a closer look at this white jade pendant, and the texture on it was very clear to him, it was the pendant that his mother wore before her death, and after her mother died, she had been wearing it on the cheap father.

"Senior Brother Ji Hao, your pendant is very similar to my family's pendant, can I ask where he came from?"

"Oh, that's right." Ji Hao's face inexplicably showed a trace of shyness, and he was a little surprised when he was looked at by Zong Wusheng.

"Isn't it convenient to say?"

"Convenient." Ji Hao played with this pendant in his hand and said: "This is two months ago, I picked it up in the eastern suburbs of Wugenhe. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zong Wusheng's complexion changed suddenly, how could Daddy's pendant be in the Rootless River, and asked, "Senior Brother Ji Hao, can you make it clear?" ”

"Two months ago, in the evening, I led two junior disciples to the Wugen River to change the canal to irrigate the tea garden, and two Liu family disciples dragged a middle-aged man to the Wugen River. I hid with two juniors to check, and they actually threw the middle-aged man into the river and left. ”

"After the person left, I picked up this pendant on the ground where the middle-aged man was thrown into the river, and I thought it was in good shape, so I wore it on my body."

Zong Wusheng's face became more and more ugly, and after Ji Hao finished speaking, he asked again: "Have you seen the appearance of that middle-aged man clearly?" ”

Ji Hao raised his head, thought for a while, and whispered: "I remember that middle-aged man was wearing a gray cloth robe, long hair shawl, and his hair color was the same as that of the clan brothers, it was gray and white, he seemed to still have a beard, I don't remember anything else." ”

Hearing Ji Hao's story, Zong Wusheng was already able to determine that the middle-aged man who was thrown into the rootless river by the people of the Liu family was his cheap daddy Zong Tianchi.

The beginning and end of the matter in my mind gradually sorted out the clue, I must have come to Youzhou City by myself, but I never saw a reply, my father was not at ease, so I found Youzhou. It's just that I can't guess what happened to him in the Liu family.

"What, do the Renzong brothers know each other?"

Finding that the expression on Zong Wusheng's face was changing, Ji Tianyi immediately walked over and asked.

"This pendant is a relic of my mother's life, and I have always carried it on my father, according to the description of Senior Brother Ji Hao, the middle-aged man is my father."

"Ahh

The people present suddenly raised their heads and cast all their eyes on Zong Wusheng's face.

"Patriarch Ji, if a person is thrown into the Rootless River, will there be any hope of survival?" Zong Wusheng asked the question he was most concerned about.

This question made Ji Tianyi very difficult, and he didn't know whether to tell the truth or lie. The source of this rootless river is at the peak, because the water volume is too large, the water is turbulent, and the depth is bottomless, so it is named the rootless river.

If an ordinary person falls into the river, he will be immediately hit by the waves to the bottom of the river, and there is no hope of survival if nothing else. Only those masters of the Divine Realm who have cultivated to a high level may have a chance of surviving if they can travel through the sky for a short time.

Zong Wusheng stared at Ji Tianyi, anxiously waiting for his answer.

Ji Tianyi thought for a moment again, decided to tell the true situation, put a hand on Zong Wusheng's shoulder, shook it vigorously, and said slowly: "Zong Gongzi, there are too many souls under the Rootless River, and none of the people who fall into the Rootless River can survive. ”

Ji Tianyi's face was heavy, he sighed lightly, and stopped talking.

When Zong Wusheng heard the answer, his body was shaky, and it seemed that he would fall down at any moment. Ji Tianyi hugged Zong Wusheng and didn't speak, letting him be grief and indignant.

Now, no one can open their mouths to persuade them, they have all experienced parting with their relatives, and they know that the sadness is indescribable.

"How so? Isn't our clan kind to the Liu family? Why would they do it? I came to Liuzhou from Danzhou, but I went to Liu's house to meet my fiancée, why did it become like this? ”

Zong Wusheng muttered to himself, and his mind was full of scenes in the sixteen years of the Xianbi Continent, and the cheap father endured humiliation for him.

For fear that he would be ridiculed by others, his father sold his property and took him to move to the ruined temple. He contracted severe typhoid fever several times and almost died, but his father tried everything to cure him.

Zong Wusheng clearly remembered that that time he was seriously ill with typhoid fever, and it was the winter when the snow closed the mountain, and he couldn't go into the mountain to collect medicine. Zong Tianchi still entered the mountain, and he endured the cold in the mountain for three days and three nights. When he came back, he was already scarred, and his arms and backs were full of shocking wounds, all of which were caused by the bite of the demon beasts in the mountains.

Every sunset and dusk, every lonely night, Zong Wusheng often saw the man who had always laughed at life, and secretly cried behind his back.

Either he missed his deceased wife, or he lamented God's injustice, and after beating the sect family into the road of decline, he sent another child who could not cultivate.

Zong Wusheng's inability to cultivate is Zong Tianchi's biggest heart disease, although he also secretly hated Zong Wusheng in the depths of his heart, his arrival came at the cost of his wife's death and his grand desire to revitalize the Zong family, which was too expensive.

But whenever he saw Zong Wusheng's innocent face and recalled what his wife had said before she died, he turned these grief and indignation into the strength to move forward and take care of this child carefully.

Zong Wusheng is already teary-eyed, although he often shouts cheap dad in his mouth, but to meet such a father in this life, isn't it a blessing from several lifetimes?

I don't know when, at Ji Tianyi's signal, the people in the living room walked out. He didn't want others to disturb a sad person.

When people are sad, those so-called truths and comforts are pale and powerless, Ji Tianyi knows these very well, in the face of endless sorrow, only Zong Wusheng gritted his teeth and faced it, soothing the wounded soul to heal himself.

If Zong Wusheng can get through this hurdle, his heart will definitely be as strong as a fortress and invulnerable.

It's late at night.

Zong Wusheng had been standing in the Ji family's living room for a long time, and he had not moved half a step in place. A meter of faint white moonlight shone into the living room, projecting on Zong Wusheng's lonely body, and quietly, that body moved.

In the moonlight, Zong Wusheng had an extra brush in his hand, he hung his wrist and held the pen, drawing angrily at the void, with each stroke, a line of blue fluorescence would appear in the air, and then disappear in an instant.

Half an hour passed, and Zong Wusheng was still standing in place, sketching towards the air, his face was already covered with beads of sweat.

Another two hours passed, and Zong Wusheng still had no intention of stopping, perhaps because his soul power was almost consumed, and his pen movement speed gradually slowed down.

After Zong Wusheng sketched again for half an hour, he finally stopped, and his body lay on his back in endless weakness. The moment he lay down, in the void he sketched, a giant beast phantom three feet tall appeared out of thin air.

The giant beast had a human face and a sheep's body, tiger teeth and human hands, its eyes were born under its armpits, and its blood-red eyes the size of lanterns looked down on the weak creatures on the ground with an endless aura of slaughter.

In this starry night, the skin of the giant beast is as black as ink, and the metallic luster flows up and down the surface of the wrinkled skin, giving people an indescribable sense of power.

The giant beast is called Gluttony, the most greedy embodiment of the Endless Void, devouring all things and turning them into its own power.

Zong Wusheng's three-hour sketch is based on one of the records about the elephant builder in the "Painting Heavenly Formula" - the elephant medium.

"Elephant Medium": The Elephant Builder sketches the Dharma Physiognomy and tells the cultivator to communicate with the celestial beast, if any of the celestial beasts are willing to combine with the cultivator, they will appear in the void, and finally become a tattoo and be engraved on the cultivator's body.

Zong Wusheng for three hours, sketched the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, the Xuanwu, the four divine beasts, but the four divine beasts did not agree to combine with him.

At a flash of divine light, he recalled in his mind the appearance of the giant beast carved on the Heavenly Hanging Needle, and knew that it was the legendary gluttony, so he sketched it with a very brush, and at the last moment when his soul power was exhausted, he sketched out the gluttony.

When Zong Wusheng learned what the Liu family had done to his father, he couldn't calm down anymore, he thought about it for a long time, and the fire of revenge burned in his heart. He will take revenge on the murderers until they are reduced to ashes in fear and despair.

Gluttonous armpits stared at the weak creature lying on the ground, and suddenly his whole body trembled violently, raised his huge head, and roared at the sky.

The voice resounded through the heavens and the earth, hovering over Youzhou City for a long time with a terrifying coercion. At this time, the sky was darkened after the roar, and the entire starry sky was covered by a thick layer of black fog.

Zong Wusheng was awakened by a loud voice, and his eyes were gluttonous and hideous. He was not afraid, and stood up with a smile as if he had seen an old friend, and reached out to stroke the gluttony.

The gluttony hesitated a little, and the huge body slowly took two steps back, and suddenly stopped, and finally lowered its head and landed within reach of the weak human.

Zong Wusheng touched the gluttonous head, and in an instant, the feeling of blood connection lingered in his heart.

"I know you're unwilling, but I'll let you understand that becoming my Fa Hui is the wisest choice you've made for thousands of years."

Tao Tao seemed to have figured it out at this moment, and his body turned into a streamer of light and burrowed into Zong Wusheng's body.
